Unfortunately it’s time to sell my 2002 748R. I have owned the bike for 6 years and due to a back injury, I haven’t been able to ride it. I don't 'need' to sell, but would rather it sold than sat in my garage. The bike has had an extensive amount of money spent on it in my ownership, including a full engine rebuild by Mike at BBS Motorcycles, full paint by Mike at Rage Designs and very recent Desmo service by the amazing team at Pro Team Italia. The bike rides like an absolute dream and is just taking up space in the garage. It does an amazing job as an eye candy ornament, but it would be better going to be used and enjoyed by an enthusiast. The bike is kept on a Optimate trickle charger and it starts on the button every time. It’s also kept on paddock stands to stop the tyres from squaring off. I am 5 minutes from J4 of the M25 in Kent. I'm away until Thursday 14th May, so I will update the ad with better photos when I get home. 2002 748R - £13,500 No.0206 MOT 06/05/2027 24,126 miles London ULEZ Exempt Ducati Original tool kit 7 Previous owners 2 x Ducati Key Full Ducati book pack Extensive receipts folder with many (not all) parts purchases, old MOT’s, some tax discs and maintenance invoices OEM Ducati rear paddock stand ProBike rear paddock stand Fully painted in 2024 by Mike @ Rage Designs (Warrington) Full Desmo Service at Pro Team Italia May 2026 (all fluids, valve clearances, belts etc) All new brake pads April 2026 - Pro Team Italia Bike has been garaged for the duration of my ownership and kept on paddock stands SPEC Speed Carbon - Carbon Fibre mudguard Speed Carbon - Carbon fibre slab side fairings Speed Carbon - Carbon fibre belly pan Speed Carbon - Carbon fibre 998 seat unit Ducati Performance - Fairing V Panel ATR - Carbon fibre upper Airbox with new seals and removable side panels Termignoni 45-50mm exhaust collector Termignoni 50mm fully refurbished carbon fibre exhaust cans Eprom to suit 50mm cans Michelin 2 CT’s - 0 Miles Tecnosel Mono Seat pad Braided fuel hoses throughout Ohlins steering damper Ohlins Forks - 2025 Serviced by MCT Ohlins rear shock - Serviced by MCT and set for 100kg rider New OEM Brembo discs NOS Ducati front loom NOS Ducati main loom Carbon fibre swingarm cover New clear braided brake lines - 0 Miles New OEM Ducati clear screen Exact Start Heavy duty starter leads 1098R Clutch slave New OEM Ducati chain guard Full set black Roose Motorsport silicone hoses Ti RS belly pan brackets Triumph Mosfet Reg/Rec Unit Metal Quick release fuel fittings Metal fuel pump nut Renthal 520 Kit - 0 Miles New Renthal rear sprocket - 0 Miles New Renthal rear sprocket carrier - 0 Miles New Cush drives - 0 Miles New Renthal front sprocket - 0 Miles Ducabike Black Dry Clutch Pressure Plate - 0 Miles Ducabike black clutch spring collars and springs - 0 Miles New Yuasa YT12B-BS battery GDH Motorsport Carbon Fibre Weighted Brake Lever Guard Ducati under seat tool kit 1098 side stand New Ducati air filters - 0 Miles Wheels refurbed in black in 2025 - 0 Miles New front wheel bearings in 2025 - 0 Miles New Ducati handlebar grips - 0 Miles New Ducati throttle slide - 0 Miles New Ducati speedo cable - 0 Miles New Ducati accelerator cable - 0 Miles Major mechanical works carried out In May 2019 the horizontal belt tensioner stud failed resulting in 2 bent exhaust valves. All 4 valves were replaced with genuine Ducati Ti items and for peace of mind, the Titanium Pankl rods were sent away for X-ray (no issues). Whilst away, these were shot peened at the same time and the engine was given an in-depth inspection to check for wear/issues while it was apart.. All main bearings were changed during these works, belts replaced, valve clearances set and full service carried out by Mike at BBS (Kent). Work carried out by Mike @ BBS Motorcycles in Bean, Kent. All genuine Ducati parts supplied by Motorapido. New Ducati Clutch plates 4 x new valves (horizontal head) Rods x-rayed and shot peened All new piston rings New belts New tensioner & idler pulleys and bearings New Crank bearings New champion plugs All new gaskets New Oil pressure switch Valve clearances set Oil filter 10w/40 Fully synthetic oil (for running in) These works totalled £2700
I’ve just noticed the 2 different ones in the photos! Good spot! I did have DP rear sets fitted with the DP lever, but changed it back to standard now
perhaps you were checking the position for fit... I guessed either that or some very janky AI.. lol Good luck with the sale
Thanks mate! That sounds more plausible The bike is coming back from its Desmo service at Pro Team Italia next week, so I’ll get some fresh photos when it’s back.
